ANOTHER young star hoping to go all the way, is 14-year-old tennis sensation Maia Lumsden – who is the European Under-14 No1.

Her coach Toby Smith, who has worked with Andy Murray, has tipped her for success, and Judy Murray has been helping to train her.

But mum Gillian’s feet are firmly on the ground – despite all three of her children being potential tennis stars.

Ewen, 12, is already a British No1 and Eve, 10, is starting to play competitively.

Gillian, 44, of Bearsden, Glasgow, said: “It’s up to the kids how far they want to take it, if they want to keep playing. I’m just their mum and that’s the most important role I can play.

“I’m not a tennis player so I can’t advise them. I leave that to Toby and their coaches.

“I would never force them into anything. It’s the child who has got to want it, not the parent.”

Gillian refuses to be star-struck by the buzz in the tennis world about Maia’s potential.

Her daughter trains 20 hours a week and spends about 10 weeks a year playing in tournaments abroad. But Gillian is determined that Maia gets a proper education.

She said: “Maia is still young and she has a long, tough journey ahead of her. The other girls Maia's age are living in Spain full-time training, they’re not in school.

“Maia is living as normal a life as she can and is coping.

“The other mothers have given up education for their children to be tennis stars. When the time is right, Maia’s coach Toby, or Judy, will advise us.

“But, for now, education is really important.”

Eve Lumsden, 10, hopes she can emulate older sister Maia

Maia started playing at the age of four and Gillian said it’s never been a hardship supporting her career – and credits coach Toby with most of the hard work.

She said: “When she was younger her dad used to drive her back and forward to competitions in England every month.

“But when she turned eight the Lawn Tennis Association helped.

“The LTA or Tennis Scotland were good, taking her to tournaments with the GB team, or Toby was with her.”

This summer, Maia reached U14 European No1 shortly after winning one of the most prestigious tournaments on the tennis calendar, the Aegon Junior International Teen Tennis in Bolton. Gillian said: “What matters is that she’s enjoying it.

“Of course, Andy is a huge inspiration and Judy has been very involved with Maia.

“I just want my children to be happy and I’ll encourage them as long as they want to keep playing.”
